Same here. I find them to be very majestic, especially foxes. As much as I love dogs, having a cat as a pet is just too priceless. The randomness, the quirkiness, the unpredictability, such a funny pet to have. Not to mention they require very minimal attention/care-taking.
I think the unconditional love from dogs kind of 'cheapens' their affection, whereas if you have an affectionate cat, you probably earned that.
Dogs are also much more high maintenance and require more training. I grew up with dogs but only have cats now, I have little interest in having a dog.
I grew up with dogs as pets over my childhood years from the 80's to early 90's. But back then my rural neighborhood was a freerange area. Neighbors let their dogs roam arond. My neighbors dog would eat from our dogs food bowl and vice versa. Of course no one had pit bulls. But then the city people started moving up from NYC, and they started to complain and snitch, then they got into local government and started passing leash laws and such. So now keeping a dog is much harder, and less fun.
Since oxa was a weak noun, its plural form (the nominative plural form) was oxan. Over the course of centuries, the a "weakened" to an e, giving us oxen.
Fox, on the other hand, comes from the Old English fox, which was a strong noun; its Old English plural was foxas, whence we get foxes.
None the less I hadn't heard "Foxen" used before, so I at least learned something new about the English language from this DuckDuckGo'ing you had me do. =)
Same. I love having a dog and a cat both. Dogs are loyal, predictable, trainable, and are attached to your hip. Cats are independent, quirky, and completely unpredictable.
I'd love to have both a dog and a cat, but my she-cat is a bit older now, and I think that for cats and dogs to get along they have to be raised together from an early age, correct? How did you make those two get along?
I miss having a pit bull, and one of my neighbours told me about a friend that just had a litter. I'd love to have the two of them be friends, if I do get one of the puppies.
You make them get along through co-habitation and necessity.
The dog does what it wants and the cats stay the F out of the way. A smart cat will have the dogs wrapped around their paw and moving out of Their way... but some cats are smarter than others, and some dogs are a little more docile/vicious than others so the dynamic has a bit of flex to it.
That is correct in that it makes it much easier for them to get along if you introduce them to one another in the younger stages. With that being said, it all depends on the cat/dog in particular. If you introduce a puppy, he/she will get used to the cat easily no matter what the cats age is. However if your cat is older, he/she might not be the most happy about it for awhile, but typically speaking they get used to it. It all depends on the cat though and their temperament. I got lucky in that my two cats are very low maintenance and easy going. My friend however got a puppy when his cats were middle aged, and it took them a month or so to get used to it, and during that few weeks they would randomly not use their litter box because they were afraid/angry.
dogs are WAY more spiteful than cats, in that department.
They have the sense to poop in the bathtub, but would rather do it in your shoe to get the point across. Cats are sneaky long-game fuckers who pretend to be sanitary by shitting behind the furnace or in the crawlspace dozens of times.
Cats are pretty amazing animals, a lot smarter than people give them credit for. And most cats don't give a fuck, which is why, I think, lonely women love them. It's the alpha they never got.
It's a common theme around here to constantly shit on cats and praise dogs. I always find the cat versus dog arguing to be a fun banter. However some of the comments posted here from "KAGallthetime" shitting on cats really did not do a good job of portraying that as banter/sarcasm or anything of the nature. Seems like he/she genuinely hates cats, and came here to completely shit all over the idea of having a cat, and then when called out about it he/she attemped to play it off as "omg you are thin skinned, I was just joking". Pretty much one of those stupid "it was just a prank bro" situations when the prank was entirely too crude to even be remotely close to being a prank.
In my life I have run into more than a handful of 'country' people who express an almost sociopathic joy in how much they hate cats, and I've had more than one try to impress me by telling stories about shooting the neighbor's cats because "cats suck dogs are better".
It's some ultra-trash redneck faggotry and it's definitely one of the fringe aspects of culture that should be stomped out by everyone with any decency in their body.
The types of people who hate cats usually view giving their kindness as a means to gain reward. Dogs will almost always reward a person's affection. Cats are not nearly as reliable that way.
Lol, I was thinking the same thing. I’ve posted and replied to posts about serious political and economic issues and yet this thread gets way more responses. The age old cat vs dog argument is alive and well in America even in these dark times lol.
My uncle had a farm. There were only 2 animals he told us kids to stay away from. One was an Arabian horse, a stud. The other one was the siamese cat that lived in the barn.
Well my cat is a bit selfish because he eats the best part, the midsection. Then leaves me with the head, spine and tail/ass section. What can I do with that?
The house cat, like the mountain man of old, just wants to be left the hell alone. But even the mountain man would come back to civilization for supplies occasionally. And once they had what they needed, it's back to "leave me the hell alone."
Cats can't conceal carry, but would if given the option.
That's how my male cat is. Acts like a dog. My female however is how MedicineBowJoe describes. She is independent, does her own thing, will come to you for attention when she wants it, then she's back off to doing her own thing.
Cats infect people with Toxoplasmosis a disease that makes you like them. Do you require any more proof that they are evil fuckers? If you die at home, any cat in the house will eat your eye-balls, lips, and tongue after the first missed meal. A dog, on the other hand, will lay beside you and starve until someone arrives.

I'd rather have my dog eat my corpse than have him starve to death waiting for people that may arrive too late, it's morbid sure, but the last thing I'd want is to make my furry friend suffer because of his loyalty.
A Frenchie? Whoa, that’s kinda hard to believe, I don’t really see them as terribly capable animals let alone dangerous. I mean, they’re sort of endearingly hapless. But I’ll take your word for it, I don’t have tv so just haven’t seen it on the newz.
Could you survive in the wild without any assistance? Also, if you could get a waiter to give you free lodging, food and pay for your health care I might call you a few things but dumb isn't one of them.
Just poking a little fun. Love cats, dogs and animals in general.

Those cats are bigger than lots of dogs! And very cute😍
Don’t forget snuglyyyyyy
You might be infected with Toxoplasmosis.
I was raised by cats, I must be the toxic avenger.

foxes are just half-breed Shibu Inu-cats,
Cat: "Maybe I would, maybe I wouldn't, maybe go fuck yourself."
Cats: able to say "get a fricking job" and yet be living off the dole the whole time
That is funny!
We like cats AND dogs because each reflects a part of our human nature.

Lmao that's one way to put it haha.
My cats quit using the litterbox when I got one with a door on it.
Interestingly, one would pee/poop right down the drain in the tub, the other would still poop in the litterbox but would pee in the sink.
All things considered, that was pretty considerate of them. I almost debated keeping it like that.
If cats could talk they would lie to you. :)
If cats could vote they'd be Democrats.
No, I don't think so. They'd be independents.
Meowbertarians
Libpurrtarians
Freeliines!
They would not vote, they would not give a fuck, and they would do as they dammed well please irrespective of laws.
So...true anarchists.
sovereign citizens!!
Cats would be libertarians, dude.

How did a post on cats create thedonald's most toxic comment section?

I don’t know what it is with cat haters. They just can’t keep their spite to themselves, it’s like a tic or something. Or being Vegan.
The types of people who hate cats usually view giving their kindness as a means to gain reward. Dogs will almost always reward a person's affection. Cats are not nearly as reliable that way.
I think most cat haters are insecure authoritarians deep down. They need a suck-up.
ah, the old 'No, I actually fucked your wife' joke...
Not funny.
step 1: say stupid thing.
step 2: people call you out for the stupid thing you've sad.
step 3: "omg you're all triggered. if you call me out, you are triggered"

I knew my siamese was a chicom infiltrator
My uncle had a farm. There were only 2 animals he told us kids to stay away from. One was an Arabian horse, a stud. The other one was the siamese cat that lived in the barn.
Smart man
It’s possible to have cats that don’t crap in boxes inside. Ask yourselves how often you see a cat clean itself and a dog...which one is cleaner? Lol
I like all animals so this isn’t one over the other for me. I do like watching cats hunt. Ours has made six kills of varmints this week alone!
What I've heard is that they do that as thanks for taking care of them.
I praise mine and tell him what a good boy he is for trying to feed us.
Well my cat is a bit selfish because he eats the best part, the midsection. Then leaves me with the head, spine and tail/ass section. What can I do with that?
Sandwich?

You should see my male cat, dude is attached to me. If I leave the room he follows just to see what I'm doing and hang out. Total bro.
That's how my male cat is. Acts like a dog. My female however is how MedicineBowJoe describes. She is independent, does her own thing, will come to you for attention when she wants it, then she's back off to doing her own thing.
My two Siamese Big Bois approve this message. They are gorgeous and sweet when they want something, but wow are they a couple of assholes!
.win so badly needs an Imgur/9gag style meme space for hilarious shit like this
You pedes are meme merchants!
Make this happen already
Cat memes. Am I on tumblr/Reddit now?
I like cats but hate litter boxes. My cats sleep outside. If it gets eaten by a coyote then I will buy a new cat but I won't buy a litterbox.
I love kijiji
Three facts about cats:
...and hump your leg.
It's a joke. We all like pets, let it go.
i have a cat. i love my cat. but he would totally do this
dogs eat poop and then lick your face, but we let that go
Only indoor Cats use a litter box.
So pissing and shitting in the middle of the street is better than in a contained box?

You’re right. Get a pet grizzly or hippo.
Never understood the appeal of cats. Horrible idea of a pet, IMO. Extremely stupid animals, too. The typical cat-lover is annoying AF as well.
They can either hunt/kill to survive by themselves or train a human to provide everything they need. Does that sound stupid to you? :)
Yes, actually. The ability to hunt and get fed by your owner that willingly shelters you does not make you intelligent.
It’s like saying a human is smart because they can kill a deer and also get a waiter to serve them at a restaurant.
WTF?
Could you survive in the wild without any assistance? Also, if you could get a waiter to give you free lodging, food and pay for your health care I might call you a few things but dumb isn't one of them.

What about Lions and Tigers...
MAGA symbol is a giant cat.
What makes you think cats are stupid?
What do dogs have to do with this? This is a post about cats…
